Xipurl.

To tJie Trustees of the University of Georgia :

Gentlemen— A glance at the list of names in the following Catalogue
will show that notwithstanding the manifold inconveniences both to
teachers and students, growing out of the unfinished condition of the
College building, there has been a fine attendance of students the past
year, towit: 255. The past j'ear has been noted in Georgia for having
been a sickly one, and the past winter especially trying upon the peo-
ple; yet we have no deaths to report, either among the students or
Faculty.

THE BUILDING.

It was midwinter, almost, before we could occupy the college build-
ing for school purposes. We have, after suffering many delays, man-
aged to secure a sufficient number of rooms to supply each Professor
with a comfortable class-room. No school-furniture, except the rudest
kind, has yet been obtained. We hope that our wants in this respect
will soon be supplied.

AMOUNT EXPENDED.

Up to the time of making our report last year, there had been paid
out on the work of rebuilding the sum of $8,035.98. Since then there
has been expended the sura of $6,870 04— a total of $14,906 02 About
$2,000 are yet due on lumber bills, tin work and other matters not yet
settled. The entire cost, when completed, exclusive of furniture, will
be about $20,000.

The utmost economy has been used, but owing to the unexpected
rise in material and labor, after the work was commenced, the sum
necessary to put the building in a state to be used is greater than was
at first expected. At the same time, it is believed by all who have seen
it to be one of the most substantial, as well as beautiful, school-build-
ings in the State.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION.

A bill is pendiHg before the General Assembly to appropriate $20,000
to the rebuilding of the college. It has been discussed before the House
Finance Committee, but no report made thereon. It will be finally
disposed of during the approaching July session. If aid is given, and
the building is finished, the work we have been doing will go on, and
the State will reach a rich harvest in a very few years. Should the
appropriation fail, I cannot say whnt will be the result. Those who
Have loaned their money will be anxious to have it paid back to them.
The rebuilding of the college was deemed of the utmost importance by
the Board. There was no insurance, and the Legislature of 1878-79
delayed action. Three hundred students were scattered in various
buildings in the town. To build again it was necessary to borrow
money. Considerable sums were borrowed from various persons in
the State, (by authority of the Board), who would only accept my in-
dividual notes for the same. This was done, ;ind now the lenders, or
some of them at least, desire their money. Unless the State appro-
priates the money, there is no other source to obtain it from, and the
building will have to be sold.

After the adjournment of the next session of the Legislature, should
it fail to do something, no further appeals will be made to that source
by myself, or with my consent. If it is not the State's duty to perform
the work of rebuilding, then the General Assembly ought not to be
longer importuned. The means of the College itself, something like
$3,000, have been expended. Private help cannot be had at this time,
and unless it should come from an unexpected quarter, I shall not
object to the University of Georgia withdrawing its annual appropri-
ation after July of 1882.

I am not, however, without hope that the Legislature will yet do
what is reasonably expected of it. The College has many friends in
both Houses; but the bill must fail unless the University Committee,
acting with the College Committee, can be present and urge the matter
upon the attention of members. It is to be regretted that educational
matters are generally deferred until all other business is attended to.
The present Legislature is decidedly progressive and earnest, and if
the friends of our measure are active, favorable results can be ob-
tained. A failure now is likely to postpone the matter for all time.

THE PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.

Owing to lack of means to pay the salaries, we were forced the past
year to throw this department upon its own resources. That is to
say, teachers were selected by a committee of our Board who were
willing to take charge of the scholars for the compensation allowed

North Georgia Agriciiltiiral College.

the public schools, and such pay as they could obtain from their
patrons. This arrangement will continue until the former course can
be adopted.

THE PEABOLY FUND.

For the past eighteen mouths nothing has been obtained from this
source. The money formerly received by the schools in this State
from the above fund is now principally devoted to the support of cer
tain j^oung men and women at tlie Normal School in Nashville, Tenn.
This plan — preparing a few teachers out of the State, instead of pre-
paring many upon a cheaper basis within the State — was deemed
wisest and best, and those schools that were once aided from this fund
must remain crippled until the folly of the above course is seen and
corrected.

TEACHERS FOE THE COMMON SCHOOLS.

Eighty-eight teachers were commissioned in 1880, and fifty-nine
commissioned in 1881. These licenses are given by authority of the
General Assembly. Of course all these licentiates do not obtain schools,
but a very large majority of them do; and, from the best data we can
obtain, these teachers annually instruct in the fall not less than 5,000
children. It is made the life-work of only a few of those who annu-
ally go forth. As soon as more lucrative professions or callings are
presented, they accept them. This is expected. Teaching generally
is not regarded as the best paying profession, by any means, and there-
fore it is generally abandoned so soon as a better paying business can
be obtained. Therefore we strive to get this work doneby young men
and women while they are themselves yet seeking for knowledge — while
they are yet forced, as many of them are, to teach in order to obtain
the means with which to prosecute their studies at college. It is be-
cause young people of limited means flock to the college at Dahlonega
that we are enabled to obtain such a large number of teachers for our
common schools in the country during the fall months. A better
arrangement, we think, for supplying teachers need not be expected
for many years. Tlioroughly educated persons will not be expected
to teach in the common schools of the country. They are looking,
quite naturally, for higher positions.

In this connection it may be proper to state that several of our grad
uates and undergraduates are filling high places in some of the schools
of the State. M. G. Bates is at the head of Ellijay Seminary; John W.
Henly has made a success with his Institute at Jasper; J. H. Aber-
nathy has a fine school in Fulton county; E. B. Earle is doing a fine
work in Floyd county. There are others whose names do not now
occur to me. Out of seventeen regular graduates from this institution,
twelve are now engaged as teachers.

THE FACULTY.

A few changes have taken place in the faculty since our last report.
Prof. B. M. Hall, B.E , resigned to take charge of an important work
in Dawson county as civil engineer. His place has been filled by
Prof. Joseph J. Singleton.

The term for which Lieutenant Joseph Garrard, Fourth Artillery,
was detailed having expired, he was ordered to rejoin his regiment in
San Francisco, and Lieutenant George S. Hoyle, 1st U. S. Cavalry,
ordered to assume the position of Commandant of Cadets at this insti-
tution. The Military Department has been fully supplied by the Sec-
retary of War with all necessary guns, equipments, etc., and in this
respect is equal to any military school in the South.

PJ^IP^I^Y DEP^^n^PEN^^.

The College has had since its organization a well attended Primary
Department for those pupils over seven years of age, whose attainments
do not allow of their entering the Preparatory Department.

To enter the latter department the pupils must pass an examination
showing that they can read correctly, write legibly, and that they are
prepared on primary geography , and in arithmetic to decimal fractions.

18 North Georgia Agricultural College.

This departmeut is under the immediate command of 1st Lieutenant
George S. Hoyle, First United States (.'avalry, a graduate of the United
States Military Academy at West Point, who, in addition to the duties
of his own department, has charge of the general discipline of the
College. The Cadets are organized into a battalion of two companies,
which latter are officered by Cadets, selected by the Commandant, and
chosen for their proficiency in drill, amenability to discipline and
high moral character. The military organization secures the enforce-
ment of discipline with greater ease and less friction than any other,
while the responsibility of the Cadets themselves for observance of the
regulations, inspires a greater trustworthiness and firmer moral tone
than can be obtained by any possible system of outside espionage.

THEORETICAL INSTRUCTION.

Recitations by Cadet officers only in Upton's Infantry Tactics,
accompanying and proceeding with its application upon the drill -
ground. A like instruction in the United States Artillery Tactics. In
addition, lectures by the Commandant upon various living military
topics, readings and discussions of militar}^ works, etc. It is desired
here, rather to give the pupil a general knowledge of those fixed mili-
tary principles which underlie the whole art of war, than to burden
his time with the acquisition of technical military instruction, desira-
ble only for the professional soldier.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION.

The members of the Battalion are drilled in the several schools in
order: School of the Soldier (including bayonet exercise), of the Com-
pany (including skirmish drill), and of the Battalion. We find that
the drill gives to the student exercise which is absolutely essential to
health of body and mind, and which many of them would not take
unless required to do so. The Cadets are drilled daily, Sundays ex-
cepted, when the weather permits. The drill hour is taken from the
time allowed for recreation and exercise. The Battalion had 120
members during the past year, some of whom have been regular atten-
dants for three years.

ARTILLERY DRILL.

The officers, non-commissioned officers and picked privates are fre-
quentl}- drilled in the "Manual of the Piece," circumstances, at present,
preventing further progress in this drill.

North Georgia Agricultural College. 19

In addition to this, gymnastic exercises, upon apparatus provided
by the Commandant and the Cadets themselves, performed only under
the direct example and observation of the Commandant, have been
found extremely useful in improving and developing Cadets of unusual
lack of symmetry or great muscular tenuity. The striking improve-
ment in the physique, the health, and the manly bearing of Cadets
after a single term's attendance, speak volumes for the value of the
military feature of this College.

CERTIFICATES.

Military drill and discipline are obligatory upon all able-bodied male
students. Should a student be unable to perform the duties required
in this department, he can be excused on the certificate of the resident
physician appointed by tlie Board of Trustees for this purpose; but
no Cadet will be excused from drill upon any other plea whatsoever,
experience having shown its great valtie, especially to young men of
feeble constitution or impaired vitality from any cause.

AEMS.

We have at present 150 Cadet Springfield rifles (breech-loaders) and
accoutrements, and two three-iuch wrought iron guns and carriages
furnished by the General Government. A liberal supply of ammuni-
tion is also furnished j^early.

Target practice is frequently indulged in, under supervision of the
Commandant, and the scores made are very creditable. Creedmoor
targets and rules are used.

In the match for the best shots in the corps of Cadets, June Gth,
1880, the following scores were made:

100 yards. 200 yards.

Private Bramlett— "A," ... 4 5 4 45 5—27.

Adjt. Gaillard— "A," ... 4 5 5 34 4—25.

Private Hurt— "B," .... 4 4 4 54 :J— 24.

Private Coleman— "B," ... 4 4 5 4 a 4—24.

UNIFORM.

Uniforms are worn at all military drills and formations. The stu-
dents in the Military Department are required to provide themselves
with uniforms, consisting of coat, pants and cap, within one month
from the time they enter the College.

Arrangements have been made by which the Cadet uniform, of
splendid material, style and finish, can be obtained promptly, and at
minimum wholesale prices— the cost of coat, pants and vest being
120.00. The cap can be obtained in the town; price, $2.00. It is not

required that Cadets off duty wear the uniform, but at the prices
quoted, it is really the most economical clothing obtainable, the Cadets
pretty generally taking extra pains to keep their uniforms clean and
neat.

APPARATUS.

A valuable Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus, as well as useful
and instructive Astronomical Apparatus, have been purchased and are
now in use in the Department of Natural Science.

SOCIETIES.

Three Literar3'- Societies have been organized in the College, to-wit:
The Price Debating Society ; the Decora Pakcstra Society, and the Phi
Mu. These Societies have done much toward the improvement of the
young men of the College. The young ladies of the institution have
likewise a society, composed of their number, which is called the
.Corona Hicdera Society.

EXPENSES.

In estimating the expenses of students, all the principal boarding-
houses have been visited for the purpose of giving correct information
with the following results : For monthly expenses of board and wash-
ing, 88.00, 111.00, $12 00, $15 00 Many of the students bring provisions
from their homes, and thus reduce their expenses in money to $3.00 per
month. During the last year about thirty students have lived at a
monthly expense of $6 00 by furnishing provisions and paying $2.00
for room and cooking.

Yearly expenses for books, paper, etc., from $10.00 to $20.00, and
uniform, (worn all the time), consisting of cap, blouse and two pairs
of pants, $20.50.

From the foregoing data we find that the average dailj'- expenditure
can be brought down to twenty-nine cents, varying from that to
seventy-five cents. Everything above this may be considered as decided
extravagance upon the part of the student.

LOCATION.

Dahlonega is the county site of Lumpkin county, a village of six or
seven hundred inhabitants, exclusive of students of the College. It is
twenty-five miles by stage from Gainesville, on the Richmond and At-

22 North Georgia Agricultural College.

lanta Air Line Railroad, and about seventy miles north of Atlanta. It
is in the centre of Northeast Georgia, fifty miles from the State lines
of Tennessee, North and South Carolina. The mountains lie all around
and about the place, rendering it one of the most beautiful and ro-
mantic places in the South. Fine freestone water abounds everywhere,
and mineral springs within easy walk of the College building that are
regarded by eminent physicians and chemists as containmg medicinal
properties for the cure of many of the diseases which afflict residents
of the low country, lo wit : chills, fevers and malarial diseases gener-
ally, and are specially recommended for rheumatism and dyspepsia.
There are three churches in the place — ISIethodist, Baptist and Pres-
byterian. Two Sabbath-schools are regularly kept up. The Signal is
published weekl}' in the place. Its columns are always open for the
publication of original compositions by the students, and will, from
time to time, contain useful information concerning the College, its
experiments, examinations, etc.

Students, on their arrival at Gainesville, will take the daily hack
line for Dahlonega. Fare ranging from $1.50 to $2.00.

FALL SESSION.

The next Fall session— which is the beginning of the scholastic year
—commences on the first Monday in September, 1881, and continues,
without interruption, until the 1st of February, at which time the
Spring Term begins.

ADMISSION FEE.

No tuition fees are exacted of any student. An admission fee of five
dollars, each term, is paid hj those who are not in indigent circum-
stances. The latter are furnished with cards of admission by the Re-
lief Committee. Just as soon as our means will allow, it is the design
of the Board to require no fees whatever. The admission fees go en-
tirely to defray the expenses of wood and repairs on the building, as
there is no fund from which to meet these demands.

OBJECTS.

The educational intelligence afforded b\- this institution has espe-
cially in view the preparation of the pupil :

1. For the business and for the enjoyment of practical home and /arm
life.

2. For the higher classes in the University of Georgia.

3. For the profession of teaching; and, as a passport to the saine.
Certificates of Proficiency in the studies of the several departments, and
of qualifications to teach, will be grar.ted by the trustees to stu-

dents showing diligence, aptitude and progress in their education.
The Faculty, by express authority of the Legislature, can grant licenses
to the students in this institution to teach in the State schools without
further examination.

NORTH GEOEGIA AGEIOULTURAL COLLEGE.

An Act to est'tblixh a Normal Department in the North Georgia Agricultural
College, at Dahlonega, and to more efficiently provide for the Military
Department of the same, and for other purposes.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Slate of Georgia:
That as soon after the passage of this act as practicable, the Board
of Trustees of the North Georgia Agricultural College shall be re
quired to organize more fully and efficiently a Normal Department in
said college. Said Board of Trustees shall, in connection with the
State Board of Education, adopt such rules and regulations as may be
necessary and proper for the free admission of such pupil, male and
female — not less than one from each county— as may express the de-
sire and intention of following the business of teaching; the object
being to provide, as early as possible, a sufficient number of able and
efficient teachers for the common schools of the State, and to provide
others, as may be demanded, from time to time. Said Board of Trus-
tees shall have power, under terms agreed upon before the admission
of pupils to this department, with consent of the parent or guardian,
to send said pupils, during the fall months, to teach remote schools
not otherwise provided for.

Sec. 3. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That said Board
of Trustees shall be authorized to contribute to the support of such
teachers as may be sent to remote school districts, from any fund in
their hands not otherwise specially appropriated, such sums of money,
which, taken with such aid as may be secured from patrons, as will
enable them properly to subsist while so engaged; but nothing con-
tained in this section shall authorize the schools so taught to be kept
for a longer period than three months in any scholastic year. Said
Board of Trustees are also authorized to provide room rent free to such
pupils while attending the Normal Department, and such other aid as
will enable such pupils to subsist upon the most economical plan.
And the certificate of proficiency and licenses to teach, which may be
granted by the Faculty of said college to such pupils as may be found
to be qualified to teach, shall be countersigned by the President and
Secretary of the Board of Trustees, and bear the seal of said institu-
tion; and the persons holding such certificates and licenses shall not
be required to undergo an examination, or procure a license from any
Board of Education or County School Commissioner, before they can

teach in any of the common schools of the State, where they are em-
ployed by the patrons of the school.
Approved February 23, 1877.

LIBEAEY

The institution has only a limited number of volumes at this time, a
large number having been destroyed by the tire of 1878. Generous
contributions have found their way to the college during the past year,
which, we trust, will be largely augmented in time. To malie up this
deficiency, the large and valuable library of President Lewis, equalled
by but few, if any, private libraries in the State, has been generously
thrown open to the use of students during the past year, for which the
Trustees feel profoundly grateful. The privilege of his library has
been of immense benefit to the school.

We shall be pleased to receive contributions of books, pamphlets,
rare old papers, and pictures of prominent authors, statesmen, educa-
tors, divines, lawyers, physicians, artizans, musicians, as well as those
who distinguish themselves in any other of the honorable pursuits of
life. These will have a conspicuous place assigned them in the col-
lege.

THE "STEVENS MEDAL."

The Faculty again tender their acknowledgements to J. P. Stevens
& Co., the well known jewelers of Atlanta, for the gold medal that is
given by them each year, to be worn by that student of this college
who has the best record in the different departments. This medal for
1880-81 has been awarded to Charles G. Power, of Milton county.

A FEATUEE,

DISTINCTIVE, VALUABLE, UNEQUALLED.

This institution has a place for a pupil of any grade of scholarship,
from the first term or class of the Primary Department, through the Sen-
ior class of the Bachelor of Arts course. Hence, the value to families.
Parents, with sons and daughters, from five to twenty-five years of
age, do come and take up their residence here for these advantages,
and thus enjoy, while their children are being educated, the blessings
of a family with all at home— freedom from anxiety for children sick
at a distant boarding-school — the influence of home and of parents,
valuable to sons, essential to daughters— and the infliuence of an un-
conscious education of the younger pupils, which is derived from their
observation of the manners, the proper language, the propriety of
dress, which they daily witness in the older and better cultivated
pupils, and the attention and asssistance and protection which older
brothers and sisters can give to the younger when in the same school.

fmnrnmBui

The following rules have been adopted for the government of the
College, and others will be added when deemed advisable:

1. Whilst the College is in session the students are underjjthe direc-
tion of the Faculty.

2. Pupils may enter the College at any time during the session, but
it is advisable that they should enter at the beginning of^a term. The
reasons for this rule are too many and obvious to be^repeated.

3. Every pupil is required to attend the opening exercises every
morning, or to be marked for neglect or tardiness, unless excused,

4. The Holy Bible shall never be excluded from among the books
that are used in the Institution.

5. As divine service is held nearly every Sabbath in the year in the
churches of the village, it is expected that each student will attend
divine service at least once every Sabbath ; and for irreverent behavior
while attending church, shall be suspended, or otherwise; punished)
according to offense.

6. Regular attendance upon recitations is so important that none
will be excused, except where necessity will justify their absence.

7. No pupil shall be allowed to leave before the close of the session,
except upon the request or permission of the parent or guardian.

8. No student shall be received of known immoral habits, nor where
thej^ have been expelled from other institutions, except upon satisfac-
tory evidence of reformation, which will be determined by the Board
of Trustees.

9. Strict attention to study, and punctuality in attendance on lec-
tures, recitations and other duties, will be made the condition of every
student's continuance at the College, except where they are broken oflE
by the requirements of the farm oi*-Dther home demands. During their
stay within the town, no student will be allowed to devote the hours of
study to idleness and vagrancy.

10. Students are required quietly to take their places in the recita-
tion rooms at the appointed times; to attend closely to the exercises of
the hour — not whispering or communicating in any manner with each
other — and when the exercise is over, to retire in a quiet and respectful
manner.

11. The habit of contracting debts at stores — except for necessary
books and stationery, and of hiring horses or vehicles — except on bus-
iness approved by the Faculty — is strictly forbidden, unless with the
knowledge and permission of parent or guardian in writing.

28 North Georgia Agricultural College.

13. The use of spirituous or intoxicating liquors is strictly forbidden
and if any student is known to have, drink, or procure the same for
himself or to furnish it to another student, or to assist another student
to obtain it, he shall be suspended for three months, or expelled.

13. A student who shall offer or accept a challenge to fight, or in any
way aid, abet, or promote a duel, or upbraid another for declining to
fight, shall be expelled.

14. Pupils are prohibited from entering into combinations under
whatever pretext, for the purpose of disturbance, or for violating or
evading any authorized rule or order. Any one engaging in riotous
conduct, or becoming a party to an agreement to hold no intercourse
with a fellow-student, or to do any act to the prejudice of good order
and gentlemanly bearing, shall be suspended or expelled, according to
the aggravation of the offense. Propriety of behavior is enjoined upon
students at all times and places.

15. No pupil will be allowed to play cards, or bet, or wager money,
or any other thing of value, upon games of chance.

16. Each student is required, on entering the College, to deliver to
the Commandant of Cadets any pistol oi other weapoa he may have in
his possession, nor is any student allowed to keep or have under his
control any such weapon, neither his own nor that of another; and
any one drawing or using such weapon against another, will be ex-
pelled.

17. Profane swearing, or corrupt language, and defacing the walls,
will receive prompt punishment. And all offenses against good morals,
and all irregularities or neglects, to the prejudice of good order and
gentlemanly bearing, though not herein enumerated, will be taken
cognizance of, according to the nature and degree of the offense.

18. Cleanliness is strictly enjoined, and it is expected in every instance
that male students will wait upon themselves, polish their own shoes,
dust their own clothing, and make tbeir own fires. Young ladies,
whether boarding at the institution or m families in the village, will
be expected to keep their rooms in perfect order, and to perform all
other domestic duties that may properly fall upon them to do. These
things are enjoined and expected, because one of the prime objects in
view is to teach the young men and young ladies of tae country the
importance of self-reliance and self-dependence.

19. JS 0 student shall be allowed to engage in any concerts, charades,
exhibitions or minstrelsies. Nor shall any student while connected
with the institution, be allowed to attend balls, or loiter about places
of dissipation, nor attend circuses, without the consent of the parent
or guardian.

20. All damage to the college building, breaking of seats or window-
glass, shall be immediately repaired by the pupil committing the same,
or by his or her parent or guardian. On failure to repair or pay for

North Georgia Agricultural College. 29

the same, the pupil shall be expelled from the school, and not allowed
to enter again until the amount is paid or damage repaired.

21. Xo student is allowed to discontinue his connection with the
college before the term is out, without the express consent of the Fac-
ulty. In the case of non-resident students, they will be under the
jurisdiction of the Faculty until they leave the town. "Where a pupil
absents himself without leave, his name Avill appear in the catalogue

as EXPELLED

22. Xo male student shall be excused from the rules governing the
military department of the college except for physical disability; that
they are thus excused will appear in the catalogue.

23. Xo student is allowed to smoke on the streets of the town, on
piazzas or grounds fronting the streets, on the college grounds, nor in
the college rooms or halls.

24. Study hours, when students are required to be at their studies
in their rooms, or engaged in some other duty, are from 8 a. m. to
12:30 p. m., from 2 p. m. to 4 p. m., and from half an hour after sun-
set to 9 p. m. During the day, Saturdays, study hours are only en-
forced until 11 a. m. Students are allowed to retire at 9:30 p. m., and
unless on duty will never leave their rooms after 10 p. m.
